What to Expect

Why Choose Lori Lambert, M.D

Unlike standalone weight loss clinics, she can identify and treat underlying gynecological and hormonal issues that may be sabotaging your weight loss efforts. Her medical expertise allows her to safely manage weight loss for women with complex health conditions that other providers might not feel comfortable treating.

Dr. Lambert's patients appreciate her thorough approach and her understanding of how weight affects all aspects of women's health. She's not just focused on the number on the scale, but on helping women achieve optimal health throughout their lives.

Insurance & Pricing

Dr. Lambert accepts most major insurance plans, and many weight loss consultations and treatments are covered when deemed medically necessary, particularly for patients with obesity-related health conditions or those preparing for pregnancy. Insurance often covers office visits, lab work, and treatment of underlying conditions like PCOS or thyroid disorders that contribute to weight gain. However, some services like specialized supplements or certain weight loss medications may require out-of-pocket payment. Our office staff will help verify your insurance benefits and explain any costs not covered by your plan.

First-Time Patient Tips

Before your appointment with Dr. Lambert, gather your complete medical records including recent lab work, current medications, and any records from previous OB/GYN care. It's helpful to track your menstrual cycle patterns and any symptoms you've noticed related to hormonal changes. Prepare to discuss your reproductive health history, including pregnancies, breastfeeding, and any fertility concerns.

During your weight loss program, be patient with the process as hormonal weight loss can take time to show results. Keep Dr. Lambert informed of any changes in your menstrual cycle, energy levels, or other symptoms, as these can provide important clues about how your body is responding to treatment.
